Megan, originally from Amityville, New York, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree concentrating in studio art and photography from Stony Brook University on Long Island. Looking for an adventure, she moved to Jackson in 2005. In 2016, after many years working in the service industry, Megan switched careers and became a member of the Dental Care of Jackson Hole team.
